The Challenge
Industrial data is everywhere — and nowhere.
Most plants run on a patchwork of PLCs, drives, weighing scales, energy meters, printers and sensors. Each speaks a different protocol, none of them talk to the cloud, and operations teams pay the price in blind spots.
Stranded sensor data
Modbus and serial devices speak their own language. Cloud platforms speak HTTP/MQTT. Without a bridge, the data never leaves the panel.
Brittle connectivity
A single carrier and a fragile radio means lost telemetry every time the link drops — and no record of what happened in between.
No edge intelligence
Vanilla loggers only push raw values. Operators want first-pass rules, alerts, and local control without waiting on a round trip.
Closed boxes
Off-the-shelf gateways force their own firmware, their own cloud, and their own pricing model — making integration a vendor lock-in problem.
How We Help
A bridge built for plants, not pilots.
One ruggedised box that speaks every industrial protocol on the floor, talks to every carrier on the roof, and survives the times when neither side is co-operating.
System Architecture
Four ways to deploy the same hardware.
The bridge is mode-agnostic. Use whichever architecture suits the site — cloud-direct, app-controlled, fully offline, or any combination.
Cloud-Direct Control
Bidirectional MQTT/HTTPS link to AID-IOT dashboard. Send telemetry up, receive control commands down — straight through the bridge with no intermediary.
Core Features
Six pillars that turn a metal box into a platform.
Specifications
Engineered for the panel room.
Hardware controlled 100% in-house — both silicon and firmware — so every interface, every protocol and every line of the stack can be tuned to the deployment.
Industrial Use Cases
Where the bridge is already earning its keep.
From furnace floors to weather stations — eight live deployment patterns customers can drop in with little or no custom firmware.
Furnace automation
Closed-loop temperature control with set-points, ramps and trip alarms streamed to cloud.
VFD speed control
Modbus master to variable-frequency drives — set, ramp, monitor and protect from a single console.
PID controller master
Orchestrate cascaded loops across multiple devices, with edge fallback on cloud outage.
Mobile tower maintenance
Power, fuel, environment and intrusion telemetry per site — with ticket triggers built in.
Industrial scales + thermal print
RS-232 master to weighing terminals and slip printers — print, log and post in one motion.
SCADA-compatible aggregation
Aggregate field tags into a Modbus / MQTT view your SCADA already understands.
Industrial weather stations
High-reliability connectivity module for met-stations and air-quality nodes in remote sites.
Barcode scanner master
Capture, validate and route scans from multiple stations — with on-device dedup and queue.
